emo music is music with emotional lyrics, and either melodious slow rythum and progressive, but as it has progressed, it adopted so much of the other music styles and rythums that it is hard to pinpoint what is emo music and what isnt. now because of that fact, some people will argue that the newest bands of this genre arent actually emo, like my chemical romance. but think about what is the minor guidelines for emo music? and that everything progresses.. we had the rights of spring as the first official band to be labeled emo, and then it progresses to get up kids and death cab for cutie. im sure youve all heard that speel.

Emo Music is the harsh sounding squeal of a high pitched faggoty dark colored attire wearing prick with long bangs that cover the face/eyes and that that doesnt bathe for days(usually accommodated by a wool or polyester scarf). Usually composed of a grand total of 3-5 chords played repetitively in different ways, these songs are "Messages to America's Youth" about how shitty well-off suburban lifestyle is. These songs usually contain lyrics such as "I shed tears of blood for you", "I hate my life", "I cut myself again", and my personal favorite "We're just kids".

Whoever writes Emo Music needs to go to Kenya and get his ball sack accessorized into a spare change pouch for the homeless.

My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Death Cab For Cutie, Taking Back Sunday, and The Used are not emo music like everyone says.
Clearly, these people have never heard of bands like Hawthorne Heights, Red Jumpsuit Appartus, Underoath, AFI, Jimmy Eat World, Alexisonfire, Story Of The Year, Senses Fail, and From First To Last, which are real emo bands. And if these bands aren't emo, what is?

Like I've said before, bands like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, and Death Cab For Cutie are NOT emo music.
